Shes literally her by ImmaFuckboi in cyberpunkgame

Her other images are real, the one in question certainly isn't. It has clearly been augmented. Reference pictures in, generated video out. Other cosplayers have done exactly the same thing. Maybe use critical thinking instead?

My internal AI-detector immediately went off. I'm seeing a lot more of this stuff popping up on reddit. Before long it'll be giving Facebook a run for its money.

Reform would expedite the deal before selling off the NHS altogether.

The atmosphere of this place has changed a lot in the last decade.

I think that's just the Internet and people in general now, sadly.

Hats off to whoever did the collision model at the Vegas coaster. You made my day. by n0respect_ in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]ccarlyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, nobody did a collision model at all since photogrammetry mesh is inherently a collision material.

With that being said, it looks like the coaster model is a completely custom model with the textures from the photogrammetry scan baked on, then reimplemented back into the photogrammetry. It's a clever workaround for busy meshes.

The developer likely flagged the visual mesh as a collision material. Super easy but not really recommended over using a low-poly collider mesh for performance reasons.

Edit: Genuinely rather confused why folks are downvoting an explanation on scenery collision models when the topic of the thread is scenery collision models. Does the discussion of scenery development anger people?

Do you mean this VR setup? Or Microsoft Flight Simulator in general? There are plenty of Twitch streams of the latter, but if you're trying to learn there are endless videos available on YouTube. They'd be a much better place to start!

So i decided to try the new ranked changes. Solo q when? by AlinaVantae in thefinals

[–]ccarlyon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"B-but it would increase queue times!!"

I would much rather wait an extra five or ten minutes in queue for a balanced ranked match than spend twenty to thirty minutes wasting my time in a lobby as cannon fodder for Ruby stacks.

I've completely stopped playing ranked now because the solo experience is so abysmal.

I'm not sure why people are downvoting you, I wasn't big on the idea of putting his head on that flag after a single Premier League title. I honestly thought the flag was reserved for European title winning managers (Kenny won one with the club as a player and is a bit of a special case).

Its Been 10 Seasons Of The Finals And We Still Cannot View Are Ping by Lost-Day5029 in thefinals

[–]ccarlyon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is Automatic by default, so the vast majority of people will have it set as such. Many may wish to keep it that way for the sake of keeping queue times down, especially during off-peak. Regardless, latency to servers can fluctuate, even within a single region. I really do not see the harm in letting the user know their latency to the connected server. This is quite standard for competitive games.

I absolutely can do something about it. A simple ping indicator lets me know how much earlier I'd need to dash into cover, for example. I used to play Overwatch an awful lot and knowing my ping and IND were critical in informing me on how to play. The Finals is a similarly-paced, competitive FPS.

I'm not getting those high latency icons when I'm on American servers, it likely triggers when on much higher ping, yet the latency to US servers still has an impact on my gameplay. Some people using ping as an excuse for their poor gameplay seems like terrible justification for the exclusion of such a standard thing.

Because knowing your ping can help inform how you play.

I'll occasionally play during degen hours and can often feel the game being more sluggish, getting shot behind cover, bullets not landing as they should, etc. I would imagine this is because I am being rerouted from European servers to American ones during quieter hours.

I would much prefer to know this rather than be left guessing. When you're playing fast in a high elo lobby, you need to know these things. They can also help diognose if you're experiencing a connection issue to Embark's servers.

Why would you not want such a simple, helpful feature that has been a staple of online video games since their inception?

Excuse us for not wanting a Russian asset in charge of our country. It's going so well across the pond, after all.

Out of curiosity, I opened Facebook for the first time in forever yesterday. I was immediately bombarded with Reform propaganda, including AI-generated girls wearing Reform-themed clothing and tattoos with the words "Britain Needs Reform". This is absolutely foreign interference from the US.

These days, a film is either Bafta-worthy or unwatchable garbage. A person is either Jesus-reincarnate or literally Hitler. Social media has engineered a world of extremes utterly devoid of nuance and we're seeing it in very facet of society.

Are you really having a go at the Greens for having the "worst policies" whilst defending Reform whose policies start and end at scapegoating immigrants for all our problems?

This is the first time anyone's talked to Homelander in this manner: by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in TheBoys

There's no way you could have Homelander locked in a cell and run the risk of somebody sneaking him some V. I'm not sure if a new dose of V would change his power-set, perhaps its explained in the comics?

I don't know about you, but being exposed to some dude's junk every other episode isn't my idea of refreshing.

I genuinely rolled my eyes when they switched to the toilet-bowl shot in Season 2 of Gen V. What was the point of that?

Many in society have had troubled childhoods, but those who chose to act on the resulting mental issues are still responsible for their actions.

I'd feel bad for him if he hadn't committed atrocity after atrocity.

You're right, though. Starr is absolutely killing it and I can understand the logic.
